Liberal and Conservative Oversimplistic Labels?
#51
RE: Liberal and Conservative Oversimplistic Labels?
Not sure if this has ever happened where you're at Black...but here, in the US, the army has actually bombed it's own civilians -from the air- at the behest of for-profits. In fact...that's -the only- reason that we've ever intentionally bombed ourselves.

Top that!

Quote:Redistribution of wealth in europe is higher, many countries have progressive taxes, and guess what... It's not working, the poor are getting poorer in countries of crisis, in countries with super high progressive taxes rich people emigrate or create offshore accounts, same goes for the tax on the income of companies, it's too high that's why everybody put's their companies in Holland that has a 12.5% tax (including that rich guy I talked about)...
Yeah, some great guy there, running off to a tax shelter so he doesn't have to put his fair share into the pot. So much for the gingerbread roof. Our system isn;t really working any better than your own, obviously. Personally, I think a mix between the two would be a better tool for the job. Fuck me though, because everyone in power seems to insist on binary thinking when it comes to economics or politics (where's Moros when you need him?).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
